David Brin's new graphic novel (In case any1 mised it in the Brin forum)

Quote:Just released: my huge new graphic novel, The Life Eaters. It has grown into a 144 page hardcover. DC/Wildstorm is calling this work 'the biggest thing since Watchmen!' Based on my Hugo nominated novella "Thor Meets Captain America," it is by far the darkest work I've written.

This bold work asks: what might the Nazis have really been up to? Perhaps a hidden agenda that nobody knows about even to this day? The theme is explored with stirring imagery (by the great Scott Hampton)-DB *****

OK, I'm very prejuidiced but after decades of not even looking at comics, I bought Fray writtern by Joss Whedon. Melaka Fray, is a vampire slayer, but she is nothing like Buffy Summers. Melaka lives hundreds of years in the future and no Slayer has been called since the end of the 21st century. However, the Slayer still fights vamps and Melaka, learns that the lurks, who differ little from the other genetic and chemical freaks that inhabit her future world, are really vampires.

So Joss Whedon's Fray is a big recommend! taraswizard

I'm a big Batman graphic novel fan. "If we lived in a State where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us good, and greed would make us saintly. And we'd live like animals or angels in the happy land that needs no heroes. But since in fact we see that avarice, anger, envy, pride, sloth, lust, and stupidity commonly profit far beyond humility, chastity, fortitude, justice and thought, and have to choose, to be human at all...why then perhaps we must stand fast a little - even at the risk of being heroes." - Sir Thomas More, "A Man For All Seasons," by Robert Bolt<i></i>

I love Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels. And of course, GRRM's The Hedge Knight. ******************************************************

After so many recommendations, I finally read one of Frank Miller's Batman graphic novels, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns. I was very pleased with it. Interesting story, about an aging Batman and a young female Robin set in a world in huge crisis. ******************************************************

Duchess, if you continue to read the series you will see the turn of a plot point regarding the young girl who is Batman's girl "Robin", and this plot point revolves around a doctor who has been thought of till the point develops as an ally of the 'Caped Crusader'.

When you lurk in "livejournal" you find out all sorts of stuff. taraswizard

I read Crisis on Infinite Earths by Marv Wolfman and George Perez. This is the graphic novel of a comic book series put out by DC comics to simplify their comic book universe, which once had many duplicate characters scattered on many Earths. Many Earths and characters die. It was actually pretty fun.
